The proceeds will go to the Virgil Abloh “Post-Modern” Scholarship Fund, which aims to help students of colour who are pursuing careers in fashion.
Two hundred pairs of Nike Air Force 1 sneakers created by the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh sold for a combined USD 25.3 million at a Sotheby’s auction on Wednesday. The highest price paid, at USD 352,800, was for a pair of size 5 shoes that carried an original high estimate of USD 15,000. The proceeds will go to the Virgil Abloh “Post-Modern” Scholarship Fund, which aims to help students of colour who are pursuing careers in fashion. The sale solidifies a design and charitable mission for Abloh, who was integral to the shoe’s creation. The 41-year-old died in November 2021 of cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare, aggressive form of cancer. The auctioned footwear is the first collaboration between Nike and French fashion house Louis Vuitton, where Abloh was artistic director.
